Vandalism

 To your left is a band called Van She.
They are not only our favourite new band, but they're also yours.
"But wait!" we hear you all cry! "I have not heard of this Van She before, how are they my favourite new band?!"
Never fear, that is why your beloved friends at IAR are here to help.
Van She, a very amazing band that hail from Sydney Australia, played a gig supporting the lovely popstress Annie last week here in Melbourne. And as amazing as the set from Annie was (and we'll be telling you all about that experience - WITH PHOTOS - tomorrow), it has to be said that the boys from Van She were an absolute highlight, and had we not been graced with such Pop royalty as Annie, they would have stolen the night away from everyone else playing.
Take a splash of The Cars, throw in a tiny bit of The Cure, an iota of Daft Punk (when they were good) and mash it together with a bit of electro-rock ala The Bloc Party and Datarock... and you STILL don't have the full mix of how brilliant the boys are.
Songs "Kelly", "Mission" and "Sex City" are rather glorious, but all the tracks on their self-titled debut EP are as equally enjoyable.
"Where can I hear any of Van She's stuff? They sound quite good!" we hear you proclaim.
Well, first of all you can check out the bands MySpace site, and preview - in full - four of the tracks from their E.P. Then, once you've done that you can either log on to the iTunes Australia store and purchase the E.P. from there, or you could always just buy the actual hard copy from the Modular People website. It will literally be the best $10.00 you could spend in 2006, and seeing as we're not even a full month into the year yet and we can say that, it obviously means they're mindblowing, flawless and great, etc etc.
It should probably also be mentioned that they're really quite nice to look at (visit their official website when you can and have a squiz at the pics), and their bass player - Matthew - is quite the fan of Annie.
Bless.
STOP PRESSES!!
Now that you are as madly in love with Van She as we are, why dont you VOTE for them in The Jack Awards? Simply click here, and vote for Van She - who are nominated for the best newcomer gong.
